The same is true in reality. This was just after Lao Xu was chopped to the ground by a drone.
He immediately moved with his brothers.
However, the crisis came faster than he expected.
As soon as Lao Xu moved past an alleyway, a zombie rushed towards him.
Thanks to Xu Renjie's cautiousness, he was very careful especially when crossing alleys.
This time, he also stopped the team in advance, thus avoiding a collision with the beast.
The beast is very fast, but it is not difficult to tell from its movement trajectory...the appearance of this beast here is purely coincidental.
This guy didn't know the movement trajectory of Lao Xu and others. He was probably attracted by the previous drone. The blind cat bumped into a dead mouse and happened to be blocked in the path of Lao Xu and others.
Why do you say that? The reason is very simple. The beast did not stop when passing the intersection, but ran straight past.
But this is also a sideways reminder to Lao Xu and the others.
The level of crisis here has skyrocketed.
After stopping, Lao Xu didn't move in a hurry.
The beast had just dodged quickly, and Lao Xu was on guard against the beast's counterattack.
You know, even though there was only one beast in the past just now, it was not difficult to tell from the speed of the beast's impact... that was no ordinary zombie.
That was a mutated and evolved zombie... "The Runner".
For veterans like Lao Xu and others, there was no problem in dealing with this beast.
But this is a laneway after all.
In a narrow space, the "Runner's" attack power and threat will be invisibly amplified.
Not to mention, this place is zombie territory.
If possible, Lao Xu still hopes to avoid direct confrontation with the beast as much as possible.
However, the idea was beautiful, but things did not develop as expected.
Just when Lao Xu was about to poke his head to confirm whether the zombies had completely left the alleyway to confirm his next move.
The heavy footsteps that had just escaped were heard again.
From far to near, very quickly.
Upon hearing this, Lao Xu, Hu Xiaodong, and Wei Dazhuang all understood what happened.
Needless to say, the "Runner" returned.
Then the problem arises.
This beast suddenly turned back... was it an inexplicable move, or did it discover its own side?
Two conclusions, the situation of Yu Laoxu and others is very different.
Wei Dazhuang raised his weapon from behind.
He wasn't nervous at all.
That's fine if the "Runner" doesn't come. If he comes, the chain blade in his hand will not be a vegetarian.
He was ready to fight the beast.
Hu Xiaodong also took out his bow and arrows.
He drew the bow and stringed it, and at the same time stood a few steps back.
Xu Renjie and Wei Dazhuang also consciously dispersed on both sides to give Hu Xiaodong a position to facilitate his attack and avoid accidental injury.
All preparations were completed in a very short time.
Throughout the whole process, there was no communication between the three of them.
They both knew very well that at this juncture, there was no point in talking.
The "Runner" was very fast. After running all the way, it didn't take long before he appeared again at the intersection of the alley.
Hu Xiaodong's sharp arrow was already aimed at the beast.
However, he still held the bow string steady and did not fire it.
Because the actions of the beast are the key to the decision.
If the beast continues to move forward, then the hit rate of Hu Xiaodong's arrow must not be high.
On the contrary, if the beast stops, the shot will be more confident.
This kind of thing is easier said than done.
For ordinary people, in this situation, the psychological pressure is very huge.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep a calm mind and deal with it calmly.
I'm afraid that the moment I saw the figure of the "runner", I would have already loosened the string and fired.
But Hu Xiaodong is no ordinary person.
His psychological quality is extremely stable.
At this moment, he was like a hunter waiting to hunt.
His eyes were focused on the "Runner" action.
Once he stops, Hu Xiaodong will not hesitate to loosen his string and kill him.
Hu Xiaodong and Xu Renjie also bowed and prepared for battle.
Especially Wei Dazhuang, he was already a little impatient and wanted to insert the blade in his hand into the beast's head.
The "Runner" did not continue to rush forward this time.
Instead, he suddenly stopped.
Then, as if he noticed something, he turned his head violently.
The sparse hair, shriveled and rotten face, and the animal's blank eyes intersected with the three pairs of scorching gazes in the alley.
Seeing Hu Xiaodong, Wei Dazhuang, Xu Renjie... "Runner" suddenly changed and became restless and excited.
For him, the temptation of delicious food... was too hard to resist.
Opening its mouth, the "Runner" looks unrecognizable, ready to attack prey.
However, before he could take any further action, Hu Xiaodong struck first.
As he loosened the bow string, the sharp arrows whizzed out, heading straight for the target at the entrance of the alley.
The mutated "runner" was completely unaware of this.
His eyes were fixed on the three prey in the alley.
But in his pupils, an afterimage soon appeared.
Before he could react, the afterimage penetrated directly into the center of his eyebrows.
The next second, the eyes of the "Runner" were filled with blood.
Combined with his rotten face... it's very weird.
Hu Xiaodong succeeded in killing him with one strike.
Poor beast...although he managed to turn back and find his prey.
But unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
Wei Dazhuang stood up and stepped forward to hold the beast back, preventing it from falling to the ground and making any noise.
However, Lao Wei was stopped by Xu Renjie.
Of course Xu Renjie knew that Lao Xu was not going up this time to make up for the damage, but to hold off the beast.
He has no problem doing this.
But everything depends on the occasion.
Everything has to be weighed.
In the current situation, although the walkers have been killed, it does not mean that the surroundings are safe.
Since there are walkers here, it means that the original path is no longer safe.
The beasts have begun to wander and spread because of the noise caused by the drone.
If a walker appears, there's no guarantee that there won't be other beasts.
In this case, it is too risky to rush forward to help the "runner".
He was unable to protect himself. He held the "Runner" and didn't let it make any movement. Instead, he was hit by other zombies passing by.
If that happens, it will be too much of a loss.
Lao Xu will definitely not let this happen.
Suddenly stopped by Lao Xu, Lao Wei didn't have a fit, said nothing, and consciously retreated to where he was.
At the critical moment, Wei Dazhuang's mind was still very clear.
As for Hu Xiaodong, he was not complacent because he succeeded in killing him with one strike.
He loosened the string and immediately took out a new arrow and put it into the arrow rest, and quickly adjusted it to get ready for battle.
Waiting and letting the killed "runner" fall to the ground helplessly.
Xu Renjie, Hu Xiaodong, and Wei Dazhuang each maintained their original fighting postures and positions, waiting silently.
Waiting for new possible crises to arise.
Wait for this crisis to pass and continue to move forward.
But what kind of result it will be... No one among Lao Xu and the other three can predict it before it happens.
